Jack A. Hill is Associate Professor of Religion (Social Ethics) at Texas Christian University. A specialist in comparative ethics, he has taught and written on the ethics of marginalized persons—Rastafarians in Jamaica, former freedom fighters in South Africa, and indigenous islanders in the South Pacific. He is currently lecturing on Christian ethics, ecology and world religions, while developing a new research interest in ethics and American culture that is informed by historical Jesus scholarship. In addition to teaching and writing, Hill has coordinated peace and justice programs and served as an ethics consultant for churches, universities and grassroots organizations in the U.S., Fiji and South Africa. He is a trained mediator, teaching mentor and former pastor, and frequently mediates conflicts, leads teaching workshops and speaks in churches, while also actively contributing to professional societies.
